[quote=Anonymous]Alopecia (there are different types) typically has concentrated spots and the hair loss is a lot cleaner than a diffuse loss pattern. I'll mention that my husband had low iron for a number of months and that caused his hair to diffusely thin so that you could see his scalp (similar to what you're describing). Iron infusions and a steady higher dose of iron pills brought back new growth over a course of about 12 weeks. But, low iron absolutely causes diffuse hair loss. No matter what, I would pursue a strategy to bring her iron up to median levels.[/quote]
